Diffusely Elevated ST Segments on Electrocardiography

Clinical Significance of Upsloping ST Segments in Exercise Electrocardiography ROB

Conventional exercise electrocardiographic criteria usually involve patterns with a horizontal or downsloping ST segment. In the present study we present criteria based on upsloping ST segments and compared these criteria with the conventional criteria. Using upsloping ST-segment criteria, the amount of STsegment depression at 80 msec after the end of the QRS complex is used as a parameter (ST ...

Acute Myocardial Infarction by Right Coronary Artery Occlusion Presenting as Precordial ST Elevation on Electrocardiography

It is rare to observe ST-segment elevation in only the anterior leads and not the inferior leads during right coronary artery occlusion. We describe a case with acute myocardial infarction (MI) by right coronary artery occlusion who developed ST-segment elevation only in the precordial leads V1 to V3.

The effect of tirofiban on ST segment resolution in patients with non-ST elevated myocardial infarction.

ST segment resolution in ST elevated myocardial infarction has independent predictive value for congestive heart failure and death at 30 days. ST segment depression in unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) predicts high risk of MI and death and may discriminate patients likely to have greater benefit from aggressive antithrombotic and interventional t...
